FEW PEOPLE KNOW BEST AMERICAN AIRS, IS BELIEF OF SLOCUM

''It is true that few people are able to tell the "Wearing of the Green" from the "Battle Hymn of the Republic," although both are familiar "with the public and are hummed and whistled by Americans the world over," stated P. H. Slocum of the Rich

mond Community Service, referring to

the numbers played in the music mem-!

ory contest. "There are comparatively few people who could give the title of either and name the composer, just from hearing the music played. "The plan followed in the music memory contest is very simple; 24 selections have been announced by the music committee of the Richmond Community Service. One selection is to be played each day of the first four days of each week. On Dec. 9, the 24 numbers will be played in a large hall and score cards will be handed lo those wishing to compete. As the numbers are played the contestant will write the title and composer of the number, in so far as they are able to recognize them. "Contest numbers may be played at any time in the homes, schools, churches, theatres, etc. To make the recognizing of the selections easy, the music committee is presenting four numbers each week. Of course it will be necessary to review all numbers frequently before Dec. 9, the final day of the contest. There is no objection to people playing the number at any time," stated Mr. Slocum. "Interest in the contest is gradually developing and is expected to reach its height about the third or fourth

week, due to the fact that many of the j

citizens are not yet familiar with the contests," he said. "The work was presented in several of the public schools by Miss Juliet Nusbaum, during the past week. The numbers were also presented in the high schol chapel exercises. Music teachers of the city have agreed to have their pupils study the numbers in public in a few days. "Tha award committee is rapidly being formed and will make a report of the awards for the winners within a few days. Many fine awards have been offered by various citizens of the ity to the winners, that will be of great value to them. It is expected that about 50 awards will be given. "Music dealers of the city have stocked up on the numbers of the contest, and people can hear them at any time in the stores."

WILL SEE IF MOLDY CORN INJURES STOCK

LAFAYETTE, Ind., Oct. 28. The Purdue university agricultural experiment station will conduct an experiment, to determine whether moldy corn is injurious to live stock. Both steers and hogs will be used in the experiment. This announcement was made today by Director G. I. Christie of the station, who stated that the experiment had been planned because of the large amount of moldy corn in Indiana this fall, due to damage by the corn ear worm and. weather conditions. "A large nflmber of farmers are raising the question as to whether they

can safely feed the moldy com which is found in large quantities in the fields over the state," said Director

Christie. "The corn ear worm has in- i jured a large amount of corn and also has been responsible for much of th'e I mold that has taken, place. ; , There is i in addition to the i regular , molds a j bacterial rot which is also causing a I large amount of the logs; .v .,'

The Public Hunting Ground Plan By FREDERICK J. HASKIN

EARLY FLINT FACTORY TURNED OUT WEAPONS

(From Christian Science Monitor.) Up and down a field of warm brown loam a pair of horses are working at the plow. From their velvet nostrils a thin wraith of steam trails upon the air. The plowman is whistling, lift-; ing high his feet so as to step clear of the clods. At a respectful distance half a score of rooks and many sea pulls rise and settle, settle and rise, doing their service to the farmer by the steady destruction of cock-chafer grubs and leather-jacks. The commonness of the picture is part of its beauty. But there is a field where you may see something far from common. The plowman is not alone; close behind him , keeping steady pace with him. walk two men, their eyes bent on the newly turned soil. As from timo to time one or the other stoops to pick up some small grayish object, you notice that they are not farmers. For an hour or more they plod on, talking little, rarely lifting their eyes to the sea gulls and laboring horses. Presently they step from the furrow and begin to examine the treasures which they have picked up. Now you

see what the object of their search has been worked flints. There are tiny arrow heads, scrapers, borers, hamers, knives, the work of the "flintmen," as Kipling calls them. But there is something else. This field is the site of an ancient flint factory, and you may trace the rude tools through every stage of their manufacture from the hole flint to the finished article; you may find the core from which tool or weapon has been chipped off, flake by flake, doubtless a difficult and tedious process. Perhaps the oldest factory of this kind in the world is to be found near the village of Spiennes, in Belgium, not far from Mona. There ,in a railway cutting, is a factory site whence issued some of the very earliest known forms of worked flints. A fatcry, indeed, from th'e handiwork of the flintmen to the clanging factories of iron and steel, their modern counterparts in the great industrial region where France and Belgium meet.

Ccmmon Mistakes Made by Average Man in Life From the Oklahoman. Judge McCormick of San Francisco pays these are the thirteen commonest mistakes in life: To attempt to set up your own ttandards of right and wrong. To try to measure the enjoyment of others by your own. To expect uniformity of opinions In this world. To fail to make allowances for inexperience. To endeavor to mold all dispositions alike. Not to yield to unimportant trifles. To look for perfection in our own actions. To worry for perfection in our own actions. To worry ourselves and others about what cannot be remedied. To consider a thing impossible that we cannot ourselves perform. Failing to help everybody, wherever, however and whenever we can. To believe only what our minds can grasp. Not to make allowances for the weakness of others. To estimate by some outside quality when it is that within which makes the man.

VERY DEMOCRATIC From the New York Sun. Jill That homely Jones girl seems " to be very democratic to say the least in her choice of men friends." Till Yes, with her it seems to be A&ase of any sport in a storm.

WASHINGTON, D. C creation of public

marshes, where the game will be j

scientifically .protected as it is in the great private hunting club grounds, but where any citizen of the United States may hunt in the open season by paying one dollar to the federal government, is now being urged by the secretary of agriculture. The plan is embodied in a bill which has been introduced in the house by Representative Anthony and in the

senate by Senator New. If it does not pass, it will probably be because of the failure of American sportsmen to hear about it and demand its passage, for it will be an undoubted boon to them. Good hunting and a free range is what the measure means to the four or five million of American gunners, but it means a good deal more than that to the government scientists who have framed it. They say agriculture requires that a large part of the remaining marsh lands and ponds in this country be kpt in their natural state. ; If the draining of them goes steadily on, the internal economy of the soil is going to suffer. t This presumably does not apply to the coastal regions of the south, where the whole country is one vast swamp for miles and miles. But throughout the New England and middle Atlantic states, the middle west

and west, ponds and marshes have become steadily fewer for many years. Most of them have been drained and converted into farm lands and factory sites. Even the grdat swamp wildernesses of the south, which begin with the Dismal Swamp south of Norfolk, Virginia, and extend in an almost unbroken strip to the end of the Everglades in Florida, are beginning to be invaded by the drainage canal an the settler. Drainage Makes Drouth This drainage of swamps was long regarded as a good thing, and up to a certain point it is, but the experts have found that when nearly all of the ponds and marshes in a given region

have been drained, the land is impoverished. The water table that is, the level of the underground water falls. This makes the region more susceptible to drouth. It affects the growth cf forests and the flow of streams. It upsets the balance of nature. If this draining goes on unchecked, the agricultural value of great areas of land will be impaired. Furthermore, the experts point out that if these marshes and ponds are

rightly used, they often produce more than the land under them would produce if drained. They are the natural home of fur bearing animals and of fish. If the taking of these creatures

is controlled so that they are kept at a maximum abundance, a marsh or pond may make a considerable yield per acre in fish and fur, not to mention wild fowl. Many marshes In add'tion yield grasses valuable as hay, and in manufactures. Marshes and ponds give a supply of natural Ice. In a word, such a water area, rightly used, is a great asset to a community, and indiscriminate drainage is as short-sighted as indiscriminate cutting of timber to make new fields. Besides these considerations, marshes and ponds are necessary to the success of the migratory bird law. This law, which protects the wild fowl and other migratory birds in their sprang flight northward, has already succeeded to the extent that it has made wild fowl more abundant than thev have been in a century It has enabled them to reach their northern breeding grounds without molestation in the spring. But their haunts In this country, when they return sou'h in the fall, have been greatly restricted. The wild duck is In the position of being all protected and no place to go. Costs Money to Hunt Then again, an increasing number

of places where ducks winter are privately owned and controlled, and the demand for private hunting grounds by clubs and wealthy individuals is on the increase. In many cases whole marshes are owned. In other cases, where the areas involved are too large for ownerhip, like Back Bay, Virginia, clubs own nearly all of the desirable water frontage, and all of the best points upon which blind3 may be built. The chances for the poor man to go

duck hunting are becoming steadily

slimmer. For one who does not belong to a club, good duck hunting

costs from $10 to $20 a day, including

the hire of a guide, a motorboat. a sink-box and a fleet of decoys. The number of the places where you can go out in your own boat and paddle

about with any hope of getting a shot is very small. The Anthony-New bill provides that the department of agriculture shall

Oct. 28 The buy or rent suitable areas of ponds duck-hunting I marshes in all of the states. The

maintenance oi inese preserves is w be paid for by a federal hunting license of $1.00, to be paid by every citizen who shoots over the government preserves. These areas are to be scientifically administered. They will be stocked with fish, and the plants which furnish the best food for wild fowl will be introduced. The birds will be carefully

protected in the closed seasons, and the areas will be public hunting grounds in the open season. They will also furnish good fishing, swimming and camping. They will be places where school children can go for picnics and for purposes of nature study. Many picturesque regions, which otherwise would soon be drained, will be saved by this measure if it becomes a law. The famous Kankakee marshes in Indiana for example, which have been a favorite resort of sportsmen and naturalists for a hundred years, would be an excellent area for government administration. '
